I’ve been battling COVID since 10/29 and have not the energy nor the motivation to even bat an eye at this trickery. Go away Hurricane Season 2020.

Best wishes for a speedy Eta free recovery!

I say 50/50. Looks like the WSW movement has slowed or stopped. Better for us imo. I have a feeling there will be more surprises. I am fairly comfortable that anything approaching the N Gulfcoast will really struggle. ETA is certainly determined tonight but this was expected.

Not a bad bet. Overall steering pattern is still the same. Almost a summer like high off to the E and a lack of progressive fronts. Will ETA or what’s left drift N or be drawn NW as a front finally
grabs it? I quit lol!

So where do we stand as of now for 2020?
Eta is the 12th named storm to make landfall along the US this season, breaking the previous record of nine set in 1916. But since NHC now has SELA in the cone of uncertainty for ETA, how many storms have we been in the cone this year? I lost count.

Two weeks ago yesterday was the last time I bought groceries; much of it was discarded on the following Friday due to my area's recent hurricane; #Zeta. I need to go and restock my groceries but before I do is there a chance that my Mississippi gulf coast will be impacted by #Eta causing me to lose power again or does it look like this morning that #Eta is headed towards the Florida panhandle region?

Even if it happened to go more west toward MS or LA, it'll just be a rain event. Nothing significant.

Just hope that wherever it hits it gets out quickly.

I was thinking about going to visit my step dad Thursday evening and he lives about a hour south of Tampa. I would stay until Sunday. I'm not sure if it's worth it though due to it looking like that area may get a lot of rain. Each time we have tried to go anywhere this year its been a shit show.

Off topic: we did make our delayed trip to Asheville last week and the weather was incredible all week. They did have areas that lost power for about 2 days from Zeta. They were surprised by the amount of wind and rain they got from the storm being that far inland.

I figured I’d be done with this forum by now, but 2020 keeps 2020ing. So for anyone who saw the thing I wrote in the other alphabet storm thread that knocked my power out, the cat survived and I just kidnapped him and he is awaiting a vet appointment while isolated in our bedroom.

I’m really just hear to say I’m over this season. I’m fatigued, I can only imagine how our Mets feel.

Been away for a bit. Looking at ETA latest. Just stunning. It’s almost mid November. Following no rules. If I’m in Tampa.... do I get a weakening depression, low end hurricane, or just rain? Even where does it actually go or wind up being at landfall?I just can’t believe we are really even watching this right now. Yeah....I’ve had more than enough. I’m sure ya’ll have also. It’s just getting freaky weird now.....
